• 0.33 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, feta cheese, panko breadcrumbs, red onion, parsley, dill, minced garlic, oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a large spoon until evenly combined.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Alternatively, preheat your grill to medium-high.

Step 4

Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster if desired.

Step 6

Once the burgers are cooked, assemble them by placing each patty on a bun and adding your desired toppings such as cucumber slices, tomato slices, tzatziki sauce, and lettuce.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Greek Style Turkey Burgers!
